Warrington to Welcome Comedian Tom Stade

The UK's favourite Canadian, Tom Stade, is taking his brand new show 'You're Welcome' to Warrington's Pyramid arts centre and he's bringing his candid and alluring stand-up with him.

Taking to the stage on Saturday 27 February, expect the usual uncompromising humour, mischievous mayhem, and impressive improvisation which has earned him the reputation of being one of the best comedians around.

It's no wonder that he has become a TV comedy staple, with appearances on BBC1's The John Bishop Show, Live at the Apollo, Stand Up for the Week and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, as well as appearances at Edinburgh Festival.

Audiences will be roaring with laughter as Stade ruminates on life's oddities and revels in his own perpetual shortcomings. It's no wonder that he has been storming the global stand-up circuit for years, and now Warrington is next in line to host his latest show...you're welcome.

Notes to editors:

Pyramid & Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland and Peter Kay to name a few.

Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats. Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.

The venues are run by Culture Warrington which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
